“People don’t realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.” -Eckhart Tolle”
1. Words are powerful. Use them wisely. “Make your words good— you will be glad you did. Words can bring death or life! Talk too much, and you will eat everything you say.” -Proverbs 18:20-21
2. People come and go, but the right ones will always stay. “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” -Proverbs 18:24
3. You are more than enough, even when it doesn’t feel like it. “You are the one who put me together inside my mother's body, and I praise you because of the wonderful way you created me. Everything you do is marvelous! Of this I have no doubt.”-Psalms 139:13-14
4. Failure happens when you stop trying. “When you stumble and fall, you get back up, and if you take a wrong road, you turn around and go back -Jeremiah 8:4
5. Random acts of kindness make this world a better place. “Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you.” -Ephesians 4:32
6. Live in the moment. Not for yesterday. Not for tomorrow. Live for today! “Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today.” -Matthew 6:34
7. Never look back. The person you were yesterday no longer exists. Today is a new day and you are a new you. “Forget what happened long ago! Don't think about the past. I am creating something new. There it is! Do you see it? I have put roads in deserts, streams in thirsty lands.” -Isaiah 43:18-19
8. Overthinking destroys your happiness. “Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise. You know the teachings I gave you, and you know what you heard me say and saw me do. So follow my example. And God, who gives peace, will be with you.” -Philippians 4:8-9
You only have one life to live. Are you living, embracing, and savoring every moment with love, kindness, compassion, and grace?
